THAT’S SO HIGH SCHOOL!

Dealing with Workplace Drama, Dysregulation, and Meanness at Work

She’s a successful business leader, divorced mother of two boys, managing a team while juggling endless demands. Each morning is a flurry of activity—squeezing in a workout, preparing lunches and checking messages before she arrives at the office.

Sound familiar?

Sarah’s daily reality: Enjoying most of her team but feeling the tension of managing a culture threatened by one or two colleagues who zap energy, ooze ungratefulness and pull others into their need for negativity and conflict. Some may use the word “drama” but Sarah realizes it is more than that. Dealing with immature behaviors, defensiveness, and people who cannot professionally self-regulate, is causing Sarah to experience the “walking on eggshells” feeling, all while trying to maintain harmony at an immense cost to herself.

The result?

Stress leave, burnout, talented employees leaving, and fear of complacency, “that’s just the way it is”.

Sarah’s transformed reality: She wakes up with intentional energy, sets firm boundaries and no longer fears letting toxic relationships go. She can now better assess professional relationships, confidently say no to energy and efficiency drains and build a team that supports her vision. 

Her new morning: Hopeful, flexible and sustainable-understanding that either she sets the boundary or her body will. Understanding that when people have no boundaries with their behavior, hers need to be clear and confident.
